Inside the interrogation room, Mingyu was doing his best to make Vret Wen talk. The technique? It is to also say nothing.Together inside the narrowed space, Mingyu ate foods in front of Vret. He ate noodles, pork, dumplings, pizza and grapes as his desserts. He does not look like a detective in this moment, but rather more like a mukbang vlogger.Well, if Mingyu would like to change his profession, he can pass as mukbang vlogger. First of all, he’s handsome. Second, he knows a lot about food, because he can cook too. Third, the way he eats is so satisfying and surely, there will be a lot who will enjoy watching him eat.But among people who already saw him eating, there’s one person who never ever found him adorable. And that is the man who is currently sitting on front of Mingyu.“Are you done eating?” Vret asked Mingyu.Mingyu drank water then stared at the man he arrested. Vret was the one who said he won’t say anything, but with the help of Mingyu’s long history of being the dete
Wonwoo heard the two shocking news. First, Mingyu arrested the leader of the Wen organization. Second, the scandal of Governor Shim Lee who is running for President. As soon as these information reached him, he rushed to go outside, to look for her sister or to whoever from the HongYoonChoi. He heard that Joshua and Celine came back, and though he still feel brokenhearted, he set aside his feelings. At this time, prioritizing his beloved little sister’s situation came first. “That’s why love is unhealthy,” Wonwoo murmured his protest while running towards the back entrance of his restaurant. He shoved his hand inside his pocket to get the key of his car. Not too far away from his vehicle, however, he saw two men approaching his side. He recognized the first man. But he couldn’t get any idea about the identity of the second man, who’s wearing all black; cap, mask and hood which made him look more suspicious. “Who?” Wonwoo asked as he turned his head to Woozi. “Yow,” Woozi greeted
“Young master Seungcheol is inside the room,” Eugene reported to Joshua. “He must be waiting for madam Celine to wake up.”Joshua lifted his head. Wordless, he stared at his right hand, as if he’s waiting for another news he would hear from Eugene.Eugene did not take his eyes off his master and soon opened his lips again.“The HongYoonChoi meeting talked about my punishment and the Yoon and Choi’s leaders withdrawal in their position.”“...”Again, the leader did not say a thing.Joshua mastered of using the flowery words during every conversation, so that he can read people’s minds and act according to that. Therefore if suddenly went quiet in front of someone else, that means he’s having a hard time looking through that person.Yes, he can’t read Eugene.‘Is it because I called my sister in her real name before?’ Eugene slightly regretted his recent action.He does not want to reveal his identity, as much as he wanted to protect his siblings. But when Eugene saw Celine in that havo
There are fifteen ways to calm yourself when you are so mad. First, breath. “Hoooo,” Jeonghan breathed. Second, admitting that you are angry. “I’m angry.” Third, challenge your thoughts. “What will happen if I did not suppress myself?” Fourth, release the anxiety. “How will I be able to release that?” Fifth, visualize yourself calm. Jeonghan shut his eyes and imagined himself smiling with the knife on his hand. Sixth, think it through. “Rational thoughts. I need rational thoughts.” Seventh, listen to music. Since he does not have time for that, then he’ll consider number eight which is changing his focus. “I came here to talk about the meeting,” he chanted his objective for coming. Ninth, relax your body. “I am trying.” Tenth, write it down. “I don’t have a f*cking pen and paper.” Eleventh, get some fresh air. “If I go out right now, I will see them again.” Twelves, fuel your body. “Do I have a time eating at this moment?” Thirteenth, drop your shoulders. “...”
When Joshua was a bright kid, he trusted that he was blessed with a loving and peaceful family. His dad was his hero and his mother was his home. He had this thought that everyone would get jealous at the harmony between his parents. But that belief changed one day.Joshua, along with his parents, Harvhey and Eli, visited a vacation where they will celebrate the two’s anniversary as marriage couple. They always do this to show how prosperous they are together; both for their son and the people around.Harvhey held the hand of the excited little Joshua and went to the counter to talk with the owner of the vacation house. There they met an old lady who recognized Harvhey right away.“Goodness gracious, your son is so handsome!” the old lady exclaimed. Her eyes twinkled to the boy in his father’s grip, as if she was one of those who anticipated for his birth.On the other side, Harvhey felt uncomfortable towards his unexpected meeting with the house owner. As much as he can remember, thi
Celine’s POV The two of us calmed down after some time. I remained seated on the bed while brother Eugene perched on the chair.‘Did someone put the chair beside the bed?’ I had a hunch who it might. But it cannot be Joshua. Seeing that he hasn’t come back here even if this room is ours, means he’s in deep thought. There’s no way he won’t suspect anything between me and brother.‘But… now that I remembered our past, it feels so weird. It was as if my memories are swerving continuously in two lanes; the past and the present.’ Yet that won’t conceal my emotions towards the boy who was became my the flower of my spring.“How did you hide?” I asked to my brother.“How did I hide?” he repeated my question. “Who else will help me to stay hidden? Of course it happened because of my father’s help.”His father, the former leader of the HongYoonChoi, and also Joshua’s father, Harvhey Hong.I did not know what happened after the incident that night, years ago. Maybe I was given with the drug
“The Governor went to Murgine.” Ben, the old man who is the owner of the convenience store near Celine’s old apartment, and also the leader of the third organization which is the center of the drug operation, turned around to look at the man who gave him the report. He was an old, weathered by time and hardened by experience. His skin bunched in wickedly deep wrinkles across his small face. Dark brown spots, like starts, lined along his thin forehead and down to his cheeks. His eyes were piercingly gray and prominent. And although he looks innocent and harmless, his gaze says something; an observant of reality. Ben is wearing a dark gray shirt and tattered overalls to cover his crooked body. He’s wearing a hat, one folded over his weakening forehead and leaking out strands of vividly white hair. From the first look, he maybe just an ordinary old man whose mind wanders through thoughts, memories and old possessions that are now lost. But at his feet which were adored with nicely pol
Tossing and turning on bed, Almond searched through the best position she should do to fall asleep. Such trials went futile because sleep never came into her. Usually, whenever she suffers from insomnia, she will drink the medicine that was prescribed by her doctor. But she did not take one. She wanted to sleep and stay awake at the same time; sleep because she’s tired, and stay awake because she feared that everything was just a dream. Almond tossed one more time. Wrapping her arms around the soft pillows, her head felt light, as if she’s floating on the sky. She could not put in words how much she’s happy right now. Happy? She does not even know if saying happy is the right word. But she cannot fool the joy that’s glowing inside her, as if the sunshine flooded her soul. Her spirits brightened and hope bloomed in her heart just like Sakura in spring; beautiful and captivating. Whenever she imagined the time when Eugene kissed her deeply, her cheeks raise from time to time. The w
